Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu with Honey Dijon Glaze
Happy first day of Fall! We are celebrating by posting a grilling recipe because I live in Alabama and apparently we didn’t get the ‘Fall’ memo because the highs are in the mid 90s all week! *Rolls eyes*
To be honest, though, we never let the weather dictate too much about what we eat. We eat soup year ’round and we grill year ’round. Grilled chicken is my absolute favorite food in the entire world. I could seriously eat it every single day. Chicken Cordon Bleu is one of my hubby’s favorite entree’s so I decided to see if I could combine the 2 and make a grilled version. I searched the interwebs to see if it had been done before and found this recipe. I thought it sounded great and the only changes I made was to quadruple the sauce. I’m a saucy girl 😉 and this recipe is ALL about the Honey Dijon Glaze. OMG!!!
It turned out SO amazingly delicious. Very, very juicy and Uncle Bee has already asked me to make it again several times. It’s happening again this weekend for sure! We served it with grilled asparagus and au gratin potatoes and there wasn’t a single crumb left. This one will be made again and again. All Winter long, even 😉
